Climate Resilience and Adaptation
How can we build resilience as we face the effects of a changing climate?
Globally, we are already experiencing extreme weather events due to climate change. Steps need to be taken to reduce the impact on our communities and infrastructures. At UCL Energy Institute we’re are working with a multitudine of stakeholders by co-designing tools in collaboration to help decision makers understand the impact of climate related disasters at different levels.
